00:00This is the top 10 best restaurants in Asakusa.
00:07Sento is still active in this town.
00:10It was established 75 years ago.
00:13It's a low-carbon, low-alkaline calcium-carbon-free hot spring.
00:20It's called Asakusa Onsen.
00:24The 10th place is Sento.
00:28Fukunoyu was established in the early Showa period.
00:31It's unusual for Sento to be open almost every day.
00:36It has a spacious and refreshing bathroom.
00:40It's run by a young couple in their 20s.
00:44They have nothing to do with Sento.
00:52They wanted to run Sento.
00:55After negotiating with Sento in 150 prefectures, they came here.
01:03It was a world that jumped into the moon, but of course there were difficulties.
01:10When we first came in, it was very hot.
01:13At first, we lowered the temperature by about 2 degrees.
01:17The people around here wanted to warm up quickly.
01:23What are you doing?
01:25At first, the temperature changed.
01:29They are used to managing the temperature of hot water.
01:32They got used to the people in the lower town.
01:37At first, I thought it was noisy.
01:42They brought Japanese sweets and rice balls.
01:47I thought they were kind.
01:49It wasn't rude, but I thought they were cute.
01:54Sento culture remains here.
02:00Tanaka Seirenjo was established in the early Meiji period.
02:04It is a factory in Edo Sudare.
02:07Tanaka Kotaro is the 5th generation craftsman in Tokyo.
02:11He is a master of Katanuki Sudare.
02:15It is a precious skill in Japan.
02:18It conveys the spirit of Edo.
02:239th place.
02:25Takumi Asakusa.
02:28Inage Seika, which is located on the back of the road,
02:31used to be a workshop.
02:37He makes shoes of many famous brands around the world.
02:43Two people and three legs have been working together for half a century.
02:48Koichi, the older brother, is in charge of the upper part of the shoes.
02:53Toyokazu, the younger brother, is in charge of the bottom of the shoes.
02:57We don't talk to each other, so we don't fight.
03:01I can't do it.
03:03My younger brother can't do it, either.
03:06That's better.
03:08We don't have to fight.
03:11One of the two,
03:13Takumi's skill has been used to make Parikore.
03:18Made in Senzoku is one of the best in the world.
03:25Hachimitsu Maker is famous for its cherry blossoms.
03:29Its head office is located in Senzoku.
03:32It was founded in 1922.
03:35The 8th place is Hachimitsu, the cherry blossom maker.
03:40The cap bottle was developed in 1945.
03:44It is said that it can be used without getting your hands dirty.
03:46It revolutionized the industry.
03:49However, when I asked the 4th generation, who was the head of development at the time,
03:54the honey would stick to the inside of the cap,
03:59and if it took a long time, it would fall off.
04:04The honey leaked and the claim was overturned.
04:08While he was trying to solve the problem,
04:12there was a hint when he was watering the flowers.
04:18It's like a bamboo leaf.
04:20It's slanted, but there are drops left.
04:24The power to maintain is the surface tension,
04:28so the honey won't leak.
04:31From the previous mountain-type,
04:34it was improved to something with a return.
04:37As a result, the honey leak was solved.
04:43Did you come up with it?
04:45I'm a talkative person.
04:49When I asked Professor Suzuki about the history of Yoshihara,
04:53he said that he invited the top teachers to teach,
04:56and he taught them to read, write, and observe.
05:03In other words, the culture of Yoshihara became higher.
05:08The Yuujo had a high level of cultural education.
05:12Tsutaya and Jusaburo also enjoyed the high level.
05:18The 7th place is the culmination of culture.
05:22When I went to the business hotel in the middle of Yoshihara,
05:30I found something gay on the 4th floor.
05:34What is this?
05:36My name is Tsuzumi Nicho.
05:39Tsuzumi Nicho?
05:40Yes.
05:41Yoshihara has a tradition of hitting Tsuzumi and Okawa with two sticks.
05:49It's a difficult traditional technique to control two Tsuzumi.
05:55Ms. Anezaki, who teaches,
05:57is a geisha from Matsubaya, a temple that has been in Yoshihara for many years.
06:03In Yoshihara, there is also a female version of Kiyari.
06:13What does the owner of this hotel,
06:15Mr. Fuwa, who is also the president of the Shotenkai, think?
06:20In Asakusa, everyone has become an apartment,
06:25and there are fewer places to play zashiki.
06:29In that sense, I made a place to convey the tradition of Yoshihara.
06:35It's fate, isn't it?
06:37I was born.
06:39I see.
06:41The three jimes held at banquets are also slightly different in Yoshihara.
06:47I'll close it with Yoshihara jime.
07:00The higher you get, the more you have to talk to the guests,
07:04such as the owner of the large shelf, the senior samurai, and the lord.
07:09You have to talk to them in accordance with their cultural education.
07:14If you don't study it, you'll never be able to do it.
07:18That's why it's fun.
07:20You can ask the guests to do that.
07:22That's right.
07:23There was a zashiki game at the end.
07:25If you don't study it, you'll never be able to play it.
07:29I see.
07:30So if you can sing a little bit,
07:33the performers will play shamisen or taiko,
07:37and the zashiki will be very exciting.
07:39It's not just listening, but singing.
07:41It's like a session.
07:42That's right.
07:44A manufacturer with a history of 100 years.
07:47What are they making?
07:53To be continued.
07:56Next time, we'll visit Machida.
07:58On February 8th, we'll visit Kodenma-cho, Nihonbashi.
08:03To be continued.
08:05Next time, we'll visit Kodenma-cho.
08:07It's a persimmon maker that was founded in 13th year of Taisho.
08:11The sixth place is the main store of Osamado.
08:14You can buy it at a department store or a high-end supermarket.
08:19The main store has a special selection of ingredients.
08:22There are a lot of persimmons made of silver.
08:28The most popular ingredient is the king's persimmon seeds.
08:33The general persimmon seeds are rice and starch,
08:37but this one uses domestic mochi rice.
08:40It takes more than a week to finish.
08:46The king's persimmon seeds contain four kinds of ingredients,
08:50such as soy sauce-based spiciness and smoked cheese.
08:53It's perfect for drinking.
08:58The fifth place is the Yoshiwara Shrine.
09:01The fifth place is the Yoshiwara Shrine.
09:05We visited five shrines in Yoshiwara.
09:11Aizome-zakura is a tree called Aizome-zakura that welcomes us at the entrance.
09:17What is the origin of this cherry blossom?
09:20It's a cherry blossom from the Yoshitoku Inari Shrine at the entrance of Yoshiwara.
09:25It's also called Enmusubi-no-sakura.
09:29Before entering the shrine,
09:32the guests would worship Aizome-zakura and Yoshitoku Inari and enter the shrine.
09:38Even now, many women come to this shrine to pray for Enmusubi-no-sakura.
09:45The fourth place is Otafuku, a famous oden restaurant that has been operating in Osaka for more than 100 years.
09:54It's an elegant dashi oden made with bonito and kelp using light soy sauce.
10:01It's not easy to eat at the counter,
10:04but if you order oden at the table in the back,
10:09hot oden will be served in a special pot for each table.
10:15There are about 40 types of oden.
10:18You can also taste rare oden such as scallop oden and persimmon wakame.
10:24In addition, you can enjoy...
10:27I'd like you to look for hidden oden as a decoration in various places.
10:34When it was renewed in 2019,
10:37such hidden oden were set up all over the store.
10:43So...
10:45Find the hidden oden hidden in the store!
10:49What kind of project is it?
10:51First, the entrance on the second floor.
10:53Where is the hidden oden?
10:56Where is it?
10:58It's up there.
11:01The answer is here.
11:04It was a rambutan costume.
11:07It's true.
11:08It's oden.
11:09And the hidden oden at the counter seat is...
11:13Where is it?
11:16I don't know.
11:18Is it here?
11:19Is it already here?
11:20The answer is here, next to the board.
11:23It's difficult.
11:24Interesting.
11:25There are two hidden oden in the toilet.
11:28It's a faucet.
11:30It's a trash can.
11:32It's a trash can.
11:34The entrance to the trash can is oden.
11:37And...
11:39The faucet is an oden sample.
11:43When you twist the konnyaku,
11:48water comes out, not broth.
11:51The person who made it is a playful person.
11:56I put this in here.
11:59It's not oden.
12:01While enjoying the real oden,
12:03please enjoy the playfulness of the craftsmen in the downtown area.
12:08Green onion tuna is popular now.
12:12The green onion and tuna were stuck together like green onion buns.
12:16It was delicious.
12:18When I go out with everyone,
12:20I feel cool from the alley.
12:22When I enter the store,
12:24I feel like I'm entering the alley.
12:27I feel like I'm entering Edo period.
12:30I was in Ebina prefecture when I was a trainee.
12:34The mayor sometimes buys souvenirs for me.
12:37The souvenir is this.
12:40What is it?
12:42He puts oden in the octopus pot.
12:46He also puts broth in it.
12:48Have you ever eaten a souvenir like this?
12:51I was taken away.
12:53Because you ate it at the store.
12:55Finally, the best 3.
12:57But before that,
12:59Asakusa exclusive 100 scenes.
13:11Meguri is very active.
13:17It's a secret that I don't tell anyone.
13:19It's a secret that I don't tell anyone.
13:22I'll give you a drink.
13:24I'm gonna drink.
13:27I'm gonna drink.
13:33I'm gonna drink.
13:35I'm gonna drink.
13:41I'm gonna drink.
13:43Oh!
13:45Oh!
13:50Oh, wow.
13:57It's a passerby.
14:04Oh, it's a good one.
14:06It's like a New Year's album.
14:08Yeah.
14:14That's all for Asakusa Exclusive 100.
14:19I feel like I'm living in an exclusive area.
14:24It's a local patrol bus.
14:26Meguri.
14:27I love patrol buses like that.
14:30It's only 100 yen.
14:31You can go wherever you want to go.
14:34Only the locals can get on that bus.
14:37If there are more areas where you can get on, it's a good deal.
14:44Famous spots where you can enjoy the history and food culture of the city.
14:49Full of horsepower.
14:58Nakae, located in Nihonzutsumi, is famous for sakura hot pot.
15:04This specialty restaurant is located on Yoshiwara's main street, Nakanocho Street.
15:10The third place is Kanemura, which is famous for sakura hot pot and Nakae.
15:16Kanemura is a ryotei located on Nakanocho Street in the Meiji period.
15:21It has been loved for more than 100 years as a place where the husband and wife have a party.
15:28However, it was closed in 2009.
15:31Nakae was built to protect the last ryotei left in Yoshiwara.
15:36I see.
15:38This place was loved by the people of the Seizaikai.
15:42Currently, you can enjoy a full course of horse meat for a day.
15:49Why is sakura hot pot Yoshiwara's specialty?
15:54In the Meiji and Taisho period, people came to Yoshiwara by horse.
15:59It was too much fun.
16:01When people came to Yoshiwara, they ran out of money.
16:04So they gave the horse they rode to people.
16:06The horse ran around and became meat.
16:09Then people went to Yoshiwara to play with horse meat.
16:11It was a circular economy.
16:15It is said that adding stamina means adding horse meat.
16:19However, it is said that eating horse meat in Yoshiwara is the 5th principle.
16:25I wonder if it's circulating.
16:29It was an interesting expression.
16:33Yoshiwara is a famous place in the world.
16:38This is the 4th prefecture in Japan.
16:41The town has not changed much.
16:462nd Yoshiwara's legacy
16:51If you want to learn the history of Yoshiwara,
16:55go to Kastori Bookstore, which opened in 2016.
17:01It is a rare shop with books on the history of Yoshiwara.
17:08The owner has been researching the history of Yoshiwara for about 15 years.
17:13There is a bar and a history of Yoshiwara library in the back of the shop.
17:17There are valuable materials that cannot be seen elsewhere.
17:21By the way, what is the legacy of the town?
17:25I think it's good as a place to feel the history of Yoshiwara.
17:35Yanagi-no-ki, which used to be near the entrance of Yoshiwara.
17:41It is said that it is called Mikaeri-yanagi because it is said that the guest looked back at the legacy on the way home.
17:47Currently, the 6th generation has been planted.
17:52And the Gojikken-michi is the road that has been twisted for some reason.
17:58It was to prevent the entrance of Yoshiwara from being seen from the outside.
18:06It is said that the library of Tsutaya Juzaburo was around here.
18:13And if you go here, it is the site of Yoshiwara Omon.
18:19In the Edo period, it was Yūkaku from here.
18:24In addition, Ohaguro-dobu is a moat with a width of more than 5 meters dug around Yūkaku.
18:33Even now, the traces of the stone wall remain.
18:38The friends inside were thinking about the outside world from the top of the stone wall.
18:45I see.
19:02What is the 1st place in the line-up?
19:07The compatibility of local people is Otori-sama.
19:111st place Otori-jinja
19:14Every November, Asakusa Tori-no-ichi, one of the three big Tori-no-ichi in Edo, is held.
19:22The number of Kumadeya is the largest in the city.
19:26About 700,000 people come to pray for good luck.
19:33The Kumade displayed in the office is super big.
19:38It is the largest Kumade display in Edo.
19:42The height is 5.8m, the width is 4.4m, and the weight is about 780kg.
19:49All kinds of good luck items are packed in it.
19:53For example, it is the birthplace of Koi-no-taki-nobogi.
19:57Also, there is a meaning that Kabu makes money.
20:02It is a butterfly with a tail.
20:06In front of the shrine, there is a big face of a turtle.
20:13This is called Nade-okame.
20:16When you pet it, you can get good luck.
20:20Where you pet depends on you.
20:23It's different depending on where you touch it.
20:25Where is your father?
20:26Of course, it's gold.
20:29Where is your sister?
20:30She has a high nose.
20:33With hope.
20:34She has a high nose.
20:38I hope this year will be a good year.
20:42I want to go to Hanato, Hoho, Nenai-jouju, and Kenko.
20:48I didn't get the atmosphere of that town.
20:52If it's Ado-machi, I should have done it.
20:54What are you afraid of?
20:57Next time, we will visit Tama, Shibuya, and Machida.
21:01Ado-machi is on T-BIRD and U-NEXT. Please subscribe to our channel.
